Hi All, I am working with a client who would like to engage the services of an interior designer to help define and design a basement finish project in Atlanta. 

I self manage our 20 units, and I couldn't care less about who my tenants have staying with them and for how long ...

I don't care if they were paying $2500 a month...lol

Some people are starting to invest in Chicago and Cleveland recently, but be very careful of the area. 

New investors in bulk will always raise prices of an area.

I got a job at Big White and looking buying to condo there so I can easily take care of it and dip my feet in short term rentals.Thanks for the heads up and look forward to speaking with you more.    

I also noticed a lot of homes that seemed like the owner isn't taking care of the place and thought maybe I should leave a letter in their box to see if they'll call me.

So many have paid the price prior, please learn from them.From a Property Manager in Detroit that Loves the City but cares about investors mental stability.     

Now, you mentioned that you don't care about tax shelter. 

i believe yes but you have to be careful how you ask - get good legal advice here. - Can we charge her the extra for the "service" dogAbsolutely not presuming it is a legitimate service dog.
